Preface

This book develops a mathematical framework for modeling and optimizing interference-coupled multiuser systems. At the core of this framework is the concept of

general interference functions,

which provides a simple means of

characterizing interdependencies between users. The entire analysis builds on the two core axioms

scale-invariance

and

monotonicity, which are introduced

in Section 1.2. Axiomatic approaches are frequently used in science. An example is cooperative game-theory, where interactions between users (or agents, players) are modeled on the basis of axioms (axiomatic bargaining). The proposed framework does indeed have a conceptual similarity with certain game-theoretic approaches. However, game theory originates from economics or social science, while the proposed int
